EZ Numbers has helped thousands of startups raise over $1 billion.

Welcome, entrepreneur!

A lot of entrepreneurs get bogged down working on fancy 30 page business plans or snazzy ten slide decks.

Often they pay consultants thousands of dollars for something that looks nice but doesn’t really feel like a part of the company. And all the time spent on this is less time actually growing the business.

Once the plan or deck is done, many entrepreneurs are worn down and hastily put together some financial projections the night before an investor meeting.

We believe in a different way.

Nobody cares if you have a fancy plan or deck. A business plan won’t get an investment, it will only get the next meeting.

We think you should spend less time on your plan, and more on your numbers. Nobody can predict the future, but when investors see that you’ve actually given some thought to your expenses and sales, they can evaluate if you’re reasonable.

And you’ll learn your business in a way that you’ve never seen it before.

Your numbers are more important than your words.

You don’t need to know any accounting, finance, or Excel.

We walk you through the whole process. Enter basic info about your expenses and sales, and EZ will instantly make your P&L, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet, Breakeven, and investor returns automatically.

And in our Free Bonuses, we give you a free template to make a one page business plan and a simple deck. That’s all you need. Then EZ Numbers automatically makes you a one page financial summary, and together with the one page business plan, it’s the EZ Numbers Two Page Plan. That’s all you need.

Spend a little more time learning the numbers in your business, and then spend the time you save by making a simple, effective plan on actually talking to investors and, well, building your business.

History

We believe that when you make your projections, your idea turns into a startup.

When you raise the money you need, or start selling enough to pay your expenses and grow, your startup gets serious.

And when you reach product / market fit, your startup becomes a business.

We’ve been helping thousands of ideas become startups and then businesses for over ten years.

Paul Hynek got tired of making projections from scratch for his startups and for friends. He tried to find a template that he thought would work for all kinds of companies, and that anyone could use, but they were either way too complicated or just couldn’t handle anything beyond a lemonade stand. So he finally gave in and decided to make his own program. So you can either thank or curse him.

Paul is a Wharton MBA and an Adjunct Professor of Finance and Accounting at Pepperdine University and has extensive experience in tech, finance, and entertainment in the US, Europe, and Asia.

He has served as CEO, CFO, and VP of Business Development for high tech, financial, entertainment, and product development companies in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, and is known as the ”Startup CFO” for his work with dozens of startups.

He produced the first set top box online experience, and conceived and created the world’s first online service for kids, which raised $50 million, and which he introduced with Bill Gates at the launch of Internet Explorer 4.0.

He played a key role at Giant Studios in Hollywood, working on Avatar, Planet of the Apes, Tintin, Real Steel, Lord of the Rings, Halo, Call of Duty, etc. Paul was instrumental in securing the rights to the source code, working with Microsoft on the development of Kinect, and enabling the sale of the company to James Cameron after Avatar.

Paul has extensive Board and Board Chair experience for both for profits and non-profits.

He is currently active in virtual and augmented reality, and blockchain.

Paul also has an MA from the School of Arts & Sciences of the University of Pennsylvania, is a Fellow of the Joseph H. Lauder Institute Global MBA program where he is an alumnus of the French international program, and has a BA from the University of Illinois.

Paul’s interests include the Singularity, virtual reality, life extension, travel, and foreign languages. He learned to read and write Thai so he could order mango and sticky rick off the menu. Paul lives in Calabasas, outside of Los Angeles, where he cavorts with coyotes on early morning mountain hikes.
